Melanoma is a malignant tumor that needs to be treated according to your doctor's medication instructions. Including the type, dosage, time and method of medication, etc., should be carried out according to the doctor's prescription, and the drug should not be changed or discontinued without permission.
Since melanoma is a type of skin cancer, patients should pay special attention to skin care during treatment. Sun protection measures such as avoiding direct sunlight and using sunscreen can reduce the risk of skin damage. Take care to keep your skin clean and dry to avoid infection.
For patients treated with targeted agents, special attention should be paid to the specificity of the drugs.
Targeted drugs are usually treated with abnormal expression of specific genes or proteins, and genetic testing should be performed before use to determine whether there is a corresponding target.
During the treatment, patients need to go to the hospital for regular follow-ups, including monitoring of liver and kidney function, blood routine, tumor markers and other indicators.
This helps the doctor to evaluate the effect of the treatment and the patient's physical condition, and adjust the treatment plan in time.
